Join us as Polly Vacher gives us insight into her inspiring pilot journey.
It may have been over 20 years since Polly Vacher MBE gained her pilots licence but she’s packed a lot of flying into those years.
Polly achieved incredible feats as she’s circumnavigated the Austraila, the United States and the entire globe.
In 2004 she became the first solo woman to fly over the Polar Regions and she did all of this to gain scholarships for the disabled
In 2007 she completed the Wings Around Britain Challenge where she landed at all the airfields in the UK Jeppesen VFR Manual.
An admirable achievement that has seen Polly rewarded with an MBE for her services to charity.
